Discussion

Low pressure that has been hanging along the east coast during the past 24 hours or so has pushed out into the open waters of the western Atlantic Ocean and NW winds will kick up here today on its backside. There should be plenty of sunny intervals today with cool conditions and NW winds gusting to 30 mph or so will make it feel even cooler than the actual air temperatures. A disturbance to our west will spread plenty of clouds into the region on Saturday along with some shower activity; however, we should then sneak in a pretty decent Easter Sunday before the weather goes downhill again beginning late Sunday night. Specifically, Easter Sunday is likely to feature partial sunshine and mild conditions with afternoon highs in the lower 60’s. By contrast, it’ll turn cooler early next week with the threat of rain from late Sunday night into Wednesday.
